    In today’s episode, we dive into a detailed conversation about a study published in the Journal of Nutrients, comparing the effects of a high carbohydrate versus a high-fat shake on metabolism and glycemic control when used to break a 38-hour fast. Dr. Benjamin Bickman completed this study. The study suggests that the type of nutrients consumed when breaking a fast significantly impacts metabolic health. It highlights that low-carb, high-fat shakes are more beneficial for maintaining ketosis and glycemic control compared to high-carb, low-fat shakes. The findings underscore the importance of food choices in optimizing fasting strategies for better health outcomes. They emphasize that what you eat and when you eat matters greatly for those practicing intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating.
